Recipe Tips & Tricks

  • Why didn’t you cook the Instant Pot Barbecue Ribs with the sauce? Because the steam would pretty much wash the sauce right off the ribs. 
  • Can I use a different brand of pressure cooker? Yes you can….I do not know exactly how each brand works so you may need to adjust cooking times if they seem off.
  • I do not have a pressure cooker, but I still want to make ribs for dinner!! Follow the instructions in this post to bake your ribs in the oven.
